51????

Last night I was setting up my Wii Fit account- because that's what we're going to try for a workout program around here. (Heat + humidity + unusually cold weather + lots of rain + no walking buddies + being tired some evenings from nursing & 'new' heart problem + gyms that are 20 plus minutes away + 3 kids at home; 1 who puts EVERYTHING in her mouth = not worked out much in 4 months.) I was pleased to know that my BMI was in the normal range, but I have NO balance skills. While the computer calculated my Wii Fit age I was grinning inside... thinking I would hear something like 29.... but oh no. I'm a WHOPPING 51 in Wii years. All because of my lack of balance?! Oh my! So then I tried some balance games. And I got a 0 the first few times I tried. Turns out I do need some help. But should my lack balance add 20 years to my life. I don't think so. Here's to lowering that number in 2010.

I had to laugh because when I did the wii fit, it said my balance was bad too! It asked me if I tripped often when I walked. Sadly, I do. Your girls are adorable!

I say whatever to 51! Maybe you were just having an off balance day. :-) So do you love the wii fit? Do you think it gives you a good workout? I was thinking about getting it in the future, but I wish I could try it out first.

I can laugh only because I was told I was 47! My husband couldn't stop laughing when we set it up a few weeks ago.

I don't know if I want to know what mine would say. I make my students practice balancing when they are stretching their quads. I can do that much, but I don't know for how long. Cute pictures of Brooklyn and your other two girls.

Okay this cracked me up Emilee! You go girl! I don't you think you're that uncoordinated. Don't believe everything a little machine tells you!
